Why the Magic can cover
The Magic lost a 104-102 heartbreaker at the hands of the Raptors on Sunday, despite Franz Wagner (25 points) and Paolo Banchero (23 points) carrying the team. No other Magic player scored more than 14 points as Orlando’s strength lies on the defensive end of the court. The team allows the fewest points per game, ranks second in defensive rating and averages the second-most blocks per game. That strong interior defense is complemented by a stingy perimeter defense as Orlando is allowing the fewest made 3-pointers per game.
Wagner (25 ppg) and Banchero (23.6 ppg) are the only active Magic players averaging in double-figures, but the team also has another six players putting up more than 7.5 points per game. Orlando also has a strong spread record as a home favorite, going 14-8, with that cover percentage being the fourth-best in the NBA. The Magic also get to face a Raptors team which has yet to see Brandon Ingram (ankle) suit up for the team, while former Kansas standouts Gradey Dick (knee) and Ochai Agbaji (ankle) are both out.

Why the Raptors can cover
One only has to look at the result of Sunday’s game to see why Toronto can cover as the Raptors outright won as 7-point underdogs. Immanuel Quickley led Toronto with 24 points, with RJ Barrett adding 22 points. Jakob Poeltl had 16 points and 11 rebounds as his 20 double-doubles on the season have already matched his total from last year.
Just three teams have a better spread record than Toronto this season, and just one team has a better ATS record than the Raptors with one day of rest, as Toronto is 24-12 versus the line in those situations. Meanwhile, Orlando has dropped three straight against the spread. Even with injures to Dick and Agbaji, Toronto can still roll out five players averaging in double-figures, compared to Orlando having just two such healthy players.
